revealing their ineffable scorn

A Plague upon them all. In
the face of their insults and
insinuations, their sneers and
their snipping, I remain a cool,
happy reactionary. I still be-
lieve that the twentieth cen-
tury belongs to Canada, even
with an 11 per cent sales taxon
building materials. And fur-
thermore, I fearlessly predict
that Quebec will never leave
the confederation.
There are a number of good
reasons for my opinions. They
are not just a lot of off-the-
cuff ideas based on a pile of
statistical evidence. Nossir,
they have a solid base of pure
emotion and prejudice,

William Elson, 25, Thames-

London, Friday of injuries re-
ceived, when his car struck a
tree near Elginfield, 0Aices-
sien 16, Highway 4,
The Rev. J. A. Calling of
St. John's Anglican C hur c
Thamesford, conducted funeral
services at the William Car-
rothers Funeral. Home at 2 pm
Tuesday, June 25. Interment
was in St. James Cemetery,
Clandeboye.
He is survived by his wife,
the former Mary Hayes, three
small children Terry-Sue, Ti-
mothy and Robin, his mother,
Mrs. Catherine Ann Elson at
present of Woodstock, and one
brother, Gary, of Toronto.
Mr. Elson, an employee of the
Pete's Plumbing Service of
London, was alone in the car
when the accident occurred.
His father, the late Ray El-
son, was at one time on the

WATER HEATER
PPluinierl Day is on the way;
Let's have .a celebration.
It may be our last chance, they
say, To marl( it as a nation,
Yep, according to the glom-
pots, this may be our last op-
portunity to celebrate with our
customary fervour that glorious
national holiday revered by all
Canadians: The First of July.
Such eminent hysterians as
Pierre Berton are sounding the
tocsin, raising the storm sig-
nals, and making like Cassan-
dra. Quebec, they sob, is gonna
pull outa the confederation. All
will be lost. Canada will be-
come a banana republic.
It is rather a paradox that
the groans of anguish emerge,
for the most part, from the
very people who devote a great
deal of time, and a vast number
of words, towards convincing
everybody that Canada is al-
ready little more than a banana
republic.
They are the people who have
unselfishly volunteered to act
as the conscience of this coun-
try. They are the people who blat
endlessly that we are the people
who hang, with embarrassing
obsequiousness, on the every
word of every foreigner who
speaks of this country, its habits
and its people.
They are the people who, via
Dawson City or Glace Bay or
Hayfork Centre, descend upon
our cities and set themselves
up as arbiters of our taste, our
opinions, our morals, our man-
ners. Armed with incredible
gall and a facility with words,

The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Culbert
of Lucan and the groom is the
son of Mrs. Kathlyn I. Egan,
Lucan and the late F. H. Egan.
Given in marriage by her
father, the bride chose a gown
of white silk organza, over
bridal taffeta, featuring a fitted
bodice, scoop neckline, and ap-
plique of chantilly lace, The
aisle-wide skirt, was styled
with panels of Chantilly lace.
A shoulder-length tiered veil of
French illusion, was held by
matching rose petals and seed
pearls, She carried a cascade of
mauve and white orchids, steph-
anotis and trailing ivy.
A turkey dinner was held in

GIRL MAKES GOOD
Judy Haskett, 18-y e a r-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin
Haskett, a Grade 13 Medway
student, who has been taking
ballet at the Errington Studio,
London, received word she pas-
sed her Grade 8 ballet with first
class honors.
As soon as school closed
Thursday she went immediately
to Penetang and was a guest of
Mr. and Mrs. D. G. Thompson
until Sunday when she went to
Toronto and secured a position
with the Manufacturers Life In-
surance Co. for the summer,
First of all, our politicians,
while comparatively green
compared to those of older na-
tions, are internationally re-
cognized as masters of the com-
promise. Canada, as a nation,
has a reputation for horse-
trading. She is not one to let
any foolish ideals stand in the
way of an honest buck. And this,
I fear, will present the greatest
obstacle to the secessionists o
Quebec.
Second, our French-Canadian
friends, bomb-planting to the
contrary, simply are not wild-
eyed Latins, forever cherishing
cobblestones to hurl at auth-
ority. They are a little more
volatile than our British ele-
ments, perhaps, but don'tforget
that they're descended from the
shrewd, tough, logical, phleg-
matic folk of northern France,
for the most part. They are
practically stoics compared to
some of the exotic strains in
our population. The Irish, for
example.
Third, they already have as
much independence as they can
possibly use. Don't tell me that
a fellow in Riviere du Loup, for
example, has any less freedom
than I have. Especially if he's
married. And I'll' never forget
a Canadienne I took out in Mon-
treal one night. Boy, was she in-
dependent!
Fourth, the people of Quebec,
should they pull out of con-
federation, would have to give
up one of their primary plea-
Lucan WI meeting was high-
lighted by a tour of the Bell
Telephone building in London,
following a business meeting
held in the conference room.
There were 17 members and
two visitors present.
Roll call was made by the
naming of any province's floral
emblem. In many cases the
members were able to make in-
teresting comments on the em-
blem they chose.
The motto, "Another year has
just begun, let's fill our year
with work and fun", was en-
larged upon by Mrs. Jack
Steacy.
Mrs. C. H. George, publicity
director, for N. Middlesex re-
ported on the directors' meet-
ing, held the previous night
(June 19) at the home of the
new district president, Mrs.
Murray Hodgins ef Lucan. As
North Middlesex will celebrate
its 60th anniversary this year,
a dinner is being planned for
Thursday, July 25 at Ilderton
for the members of the 14
branches. Birr WI has con-
sented to cater for the dinner.
Mrs. George also reported
on the rally to be held at Fan-
shawe, August 20, Mrs. Wil-
liam Brownlee gave a splendid
The bride's cou si n, Miss
Dana Ctilbert of Lucan, as maid
of honor, was her only attendant
and was gowned in a blue peau
de sole skirt with matching lace
top, She carried pink sweetheart
roses and shasta daisies.
Patrick H, Egan was his bro-
ther's best man. Harry Menders
and Tom Weller Jr. of Lucan
were ushers,
Mrs, G. W, Sach provided tra-
ditional wedding music and ac-
companied the soloist, Miss
Ilene Donaldson of Denfield, who
sang, "The Lord's Prayer" and
"The Wedding Prayer",
At a dinner and reception held
at the Dufferin Hotel, Centralia,
the bride's mother received, in
a dusty rose silk brocade sheath
with matching shoes, navy hat
and accessories. She was as-
sisted by the groom's mother, in
a two-piece princess-line blue
linen and lace ensemble with
white accessories, The former
wore a salmon pink rose cor-
sage and the latter, a pink and
white corsage.
For a honeymoon trip to Nia-
gara Falls and New York the
bride changed to a yellow linen
two piece suit with white ac-
cessories and mauve and white
orchid corsage.
The young couple will make
their home in Lucknow, where
the groom, formerly of Lucan,
is now an employee of the Bank
of Montreal.
Guests were present from
Richmond (Mich), Toronto,
London , Hespeler and Lucan.

The Toronto Star tells this
human interest story about a
Lucan horse:
Racing Form's past perfor-
mance chart on a 12-yearold
pacing veteran, Herbert Carter,
indicates he wasn't raced at all
in either 1961 or 1962.
Norman Hardy, Lucan, who
shares ownership of the horse
with his brother, Jack, says that
it isn't quite true. Norm's son,
Ken, sometimes with saddle and
sometimes without, raced the
old horse a few times those two
years against other mounted
farm kids in the Lucan area of
Southwestern Ontario.
In fact, it was the fuss Norm's
lad had raised, when thought was
given last fall to selling Herbert
Carter that kept him available
for victory at London Raceway
and also at Mohawk Raceway.
The best the horse had shown
previously was 2:10.2 miles as
an 8-year-old. But there maybe
new life again in Herbert Car-
ter, put there by a boy's devotion
over two long years, for the win-
ning time, June 19, was 2:09.3
for trainer-driver Neil McRann
also of Lucan.
Mrs. W. Hodgins
dies in Calgary
Mrs. Wellington Hodgins, 72,
Calgary, died June 9 at Eatonia
Union Hospital, Funeral ser-
vice was held in Kindersley,
June 12, with interment in Ea-
tonia Cemetery, Sask.
She is survived by her hus-
band, formerly of Lucan, two
daughters, Helen (Mrs. Howard
Woodrow) of Eatonia, Sask. and
Vera (Mrs. Ambrose Guidinger,
of La Porte, Sask. seven grand-
children and one great grand-
child; also one brother and one
sister, James Ellwood, and
Mrs. Mary Burr, both of Lon-
don.
Mrs. Hodgins, the former
Hannah Ellwood, was born in
McGillivray Town ship. She
lived for a number of years in
Lucan, before moving to Lon-
don.

report on the district annual
at Ivan, May 23.
A few more tickets were sold
on the quilt, made some months
ago by the members. When the
draw was made Mrs. Don Ab-
bott of RR1 Lucan was the win-
ner.
On behalf of the Bell Tele-
phone, Peter Cronne extended
a welcome to the group and in-
troduced two guides for a tour
of the building. As the members
entered room after room and
floor alter floor, filled with a
maze of intricate machinery
and wires they were filled with
amazement.
The growth of a mighty oak
from an acorn may be great,
but not to be compared to the
growth of the telephone from
the machine, patented by Alex-
ander Graham Bell, March 17,
1876, not yet a hundred years
ago. Among the many things
planned for the future will be
the ability to see the person
to whom one phones.
Following the tour, the group
returned to the lunch room for
refreshments, and the oppor-
tunity to ask questions.
The president, Mrs. Sheri-
dan Revington, on behalf of the
group, thanked Mr. Cronne for
the tour, and hospitality. Be-
fore leaving for home, each
member received a small sou-
venir.
